mr burns 133 Posted November 23, 2009 Meh, the slight changes in gfx are pathetic. All of this only for M$ to sell more OS´ and making console ports less work intensive. I hate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadfast 43 Posted November 23, 2009 All of this only for M$ to sell more OS´ and making console ports less work intensive. I'm sorry, but the last time I checked the 360's GPU was comparable to the Radeon 3k series and PS3's RSX is essentially Geforce 7800. Neither support DX11 (RSX only does DX9). I'd give them a bit more credit with DX11 this time ;) On top of that, don't we all know what kind of workers Codemasters are? Let's not judge the technology by one game that basically had it thrown in just for the PR effect 5 minutes before too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanctuary 19 Posted November 23, 2009 They make a screenshot very blurry and calls it "DirectX 9" then they make a screenshot that is not blurry and calls it "DirectX 11". So i guess super sharp screenshot : DirectX 12 !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaXz 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Well, DX10 and 11 is more a streamlining upgrade, they don't offer much new things as far that I can see. I still remember the deal with Crysis vista, were you could have great graphics with DX10 in Vista. The XP users could do a simple ini tweak to get most of the DX10 features in DX9. So for the most part it runs smoother, that way one could up the older features somewhat to more crispier results with not much of a performance hit, relatively speaking. Last but not least, the trend, better graphics and less challenging gameplay. I wish that most recources would be put into AI instead of all that fapping on cinematic gameplay experiences with 'I win' buttons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrub 0 Posted November 23, 2009 They make a screenshot very blurry and calls it "DirectX 9" then they make a screenshot that is not blurry and calls it "DirectX 11".So i guess super sharp screenshot : Red Storm Rising FTW!!!!11!!! Loved that game. :) RaXz: Totally agree on the 'I win' button issues. Turning video games into Vidiot games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously i was mislead by Shattered Horizon gfx, thinking it is cross platform because .. well look at the graphics. Now that im proven wrong it´s become even more confusing :confused: Where will DX11 go? The visuals aren´t really that awesome imho, and what is keeping them from distributing it for XP & Vista aswell? There´s something fishy in this, maybe they´re paving the way for YBox580, the crucial hardware update for the time when either all xbox players have the ring of death or got their consoles disconnected from the interwebs becuz M$ saiz so.

sanctuary 19 Posted November 23, 2009 Red Storm Rising FTW!!!!11!!! Loved that game. :) Good to see there are some people that have a good taste ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 133 Posted November 23, 2009 Shattered Horizon uses DX10, not 11 ;) aarrrgh. You see, if it´s not XP it could aswell be OS/2 Warp as i simply don´t know shit about anything 'better' than XP :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted November 23, 2009 Meh, it's a Codemasters game. It'll be mediocre at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted November 23, 2009 WTF is with the DX9 shots being blurred and DX11 being sharp? Anyway, Codemasters aren't the best when it comes to graphics. The one main improvement I see with DX11 is tessellation. It has the potential to make a huge difference in graphics. Although we should have had it years ago, ATI cards have had the (unused) ability for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reconteam 19 Posted November 24, 2009 The one improvement I want to see with DX11 is optimization. Look how much performance can be cranked out of a console that uses technology that has long been surpassed. If we could get that level of optimization for the PC, just think about it.

PuFu 4600 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) as madmatt said, the only new thing about dx11 is RT tesselation. That can change the LODs (of A2 for instance) to 1 average poly model. The transition between will be smoth opposed to LOD switching for instance.. Everything else besides that....M$ shit as burns put it dunno if this has been shown around here before Edited November 24, 2009 by PuFu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
